As the air thins you are called to memory I am as yet Unsure of what relationship exists Between the flitting nimbus and velocity And me Perhaps the times I fell away from the earth Skirting through layers of atmosphere Between the curvature of horizons And a past sunset far behind me I left traces of longing In contrails I left vapour trails of emotion in the sky Understandably you are filtered from my gravity restricted musings With feet on Terra Firma; no contrail exists Only here with vermillion slashing the clouds Carving a wake through air so fast sounds can’t catch me Do I remember how I howled

Vapour Trails
As the air thins you are called to memory I am as yet Unsure of what relationship exists Between the flitting nimbus and velocity And me Perhaps the times I fell away from the earth Skirting through layers of atmosphere Between the curvature of horizons And a past sunset far behind me I left traces of longing In contrails I left vapour trails of emotion in the sky Understandably you are filtered from my gravity restricted musings With feet on Terra Firma; no contrail exists Only here with vermillion slashing the clouds Carving a wake through air so fast sounds can’t catch me Do I remember how I howled
